[Intro]
(Soft waves… distant laughter…)
Golden… golden…
[Verse 1]
Barefoot walking where the tide rolls in
Salt in the air, sun on your skin
Time slows down, we don’t pretend
We don’t care where this will end
Polaroid hearts in fading light
Laughing loud as the day turns night
Every second slipping through
But it felt like something new
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t say it’s over yet
We haven’t had our last sunset
[Chorus / Hook – Catchy Chill]
Golden sands, take my hand
We were magic, we were plans
Waves crash, but we still stand
Living life in golden sands
Golden sands, don’t let go
Hold this feeling, let it glow
Even when the summer ends
We’ll be more than just pretend
[Post-Chorus]
(Golden… golden…)
Stay a little longer
(Golden… golden…)
We were something stronger
[Verse 2]
Late night talks under neon skies
Truth comes out in tired eyes
Every promise, every spark
Left a fire in the dark
We were young, we were free
Exactly who we wanted to be
Now the tide is pulling back
But we don’t fade to black
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t say it’s over yet
We haven’t had our last sunset
[Chorus / Hook – Bigger]
Golden sands, take my hand
We were magic, we were plans
Waves crash, but we still stand
Living life in golden sands
Golden sands, don’t let go
Hold this feeling, let it glow
Even when the summer ends
We’ll be more than just pretend
[Bridge – Emotional Lift Begins]
Oh, the colors start to fade
But the memories remain
Every laugh, every flame
We’ll never be the same
Don’t you cry, don’t you run
We’re still chasing setting suns
Even when the night begins
We carry all we’ve been
[Final Chorus – Cinematic / Sunset Explosion]
Golden sands, take my hand
We were more than just a plan
Every wave, every sound
Still echoes all around
Golden sands, don’t you fade
All the love we ever made
Even when the summer ends
This is never really the end
[Outro – Soft Fade]
(Soft waves return…)
Golden… golden…
We were golden…
